Fidel Castro’s Exiled Daughter: Can She Ever Forgive? | SLICE WHO | FULL DOCUMENTARY

Описание: For decades, the Comandante kept his personal life out of the public eye. But that secrecy was shattered when his own daughter, Alina, fled Cuba over twenty years ago—at a time when the nation was crumbling under financial collapse. Her escape was a scandal, an act of defiance against a father who was not just a man, but a regime. Now, as rumors swirl about his failing health—or even his death—Alina finds herself once again caught between two worlds.

In Miami, she leads a quiet life, far from the weight of her father’s shadow. Yet around her, the Cuban exile community is bracing for the moment they’ve awaited for decades—a mass celebration on the day of his passing. Will she join them? She has never forgiven him for what he did to her, or to Cuba. But hatred is not so easily worn as a badge.

Through her journey, we see her in her Miami home, in the bars of Little Havana, at a Cuban radio station, and in the quiet solace of her yoga class. At the same time, we travel back to the places of her childhood in Cuba—her old home, the ballet school where she once dreamed of a different future. There, we meet her former teacher, who offers another perspective on the woman she became.

The film reaches its climax in both Miami and Havana, as Fidel Castro’s death finally arrives. Mourning and celebration collide in the streets. And in the middle of it all stands Alina—a daughter, an exile, and a woman forever divided between the past and the present.
